As assault and withdrawl are eliminated, the social area of our lives becomes what God intended: a play of constant mutual blessing. Every contact with a human being should be one of good will and respect, with a constant readiness to make way for the other in suitable ways.DW pp.127-128

Welcome to our online discussion of Dallas Willard and Jan Johnson's Renovation of the Heart in Daily Practice: Experiments in Spiritual Transformation. Each day, Monday-Friday, I will post the title of that day's chapter and maybe an excerpt from the chapter. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to read that day's selection from the book then click on the comment link and add your $.02 to the conversation. If you are a highlighter maybe just share what you highlighted and why you highlighted it. Maybe something really resonated with you as you tackled that day's experiment, share that with us. Maybe, as happened with me, the first time I read the book, God will reveal something to you. Read the comments that others leave, respond to each other, ask for clarification, let someone know you connected with a comment they left. My hope is that working through this book together we will get much more out of it, we might not only grow in Christlikeness but grow closer to each other. If you have any technical difficulties please email me at tkay3atcharterdotnet.

This is a awesome chapter this is totally me I could withdraw and I also could assault if provoked. Withdrawing is the most common today because I am conscious of my thoughts and don't want to attack anyone so I withdraw until I could respond in a way that is not attacking. God has taught me if I have nothing good to say or do check myself before I wreck myself!!!
